Hi, Thanks for your various helpful answers that enable me to understand better the possible solutions to connect a cellular modem.
I am first trying the Ofono solution, and came to this message error (dmesg): Jun 11 09:11:13 igep00x0 daemon.info ofonod[1261]: Modem support (CDC support: unknown) Jun 11 09:11:14 igep00x0 daemon.err ofonod[1261]: Missing support for TUN/TAP devices From my search, I have to install the kernel-module-tun module. Could you help me to know the repository to configure for using zipper and installing it please? (Could you also confirm me that installing kernel-module-tun is the right solution please?) Thanks for your help.

Would connman + ofono be suitable?

Most USB devices seem to implement CDC ACM that works quite well with kernel drivers. Basically you end up with one of /dev/ttyACM devices that pppd can talk to. In past, due to image size constraints, we had custom code that looked at these devices (used libudev to correlated /dev entries with usb devices) and started pppd, thus skipping ofono/connman and their deps. The current setups are mostly systemd/systemd-networkd + pppd glue. Without much trouble it's possible to get ~20MB ext3 rootfs image with all the stuff you need. There were also some dongles that came up as CDC Ether, but I've only seen this for some WiMAX modules that I'm not sure are even available on the market anymore. For transport, you can find rabbitmq-c in meta-oe. I'll also be sending some patches for Paho MQTT libraries and mosquitto next week or so. -- Maciej Borzęcki Senior Software Engineer Open-RnD Sp. z o.o. www.open-rnd.pl, Facebook, Twitter mobile: +48 telefon, fax: +48 42 657 9079 Niniejsza wiadomość wraz z załącznikami może zawierać chronione prawem lub poufne informacje i została wysłana wyłącznie do wiadomości i użytku osób, do których została zaadresowana.
